You can call it pie in the sky, but pizza delivery is now a real thing -- at least in the Land Down Under.

Domino's Pizza Enterprises said Wednesday it had completed what it called the world's first delivery of a pizza to a customer in New Zealand. Under the watch of a team of drone experts, the unmanned aerial vehicle used GPS navigation to autonomously deliver Peri-Peri Chicken and Chicken and Cranberry pizzas to a backyard in Whangaparaoa, about 20 miles north of Auckland.

Drones have grown in popularity among big retailers such as Amazon and Walmart, which are continually looking for new ways to get a jump on the competition and attract customers. The small, commercial aerial drones could avoid the delays of terrestrial deliveries by flying above traffic and avoiding circuitous roadways.

Manna from heaven?

    I see you go back and forth with them so many times. I do agree that Buzz is likely just trolling you more often than not, but it is kind of enjoyable to watch the trainwreck sometimes, to be honest. :)

    Sadly, I do not think there is anything you can say to such a person to get them to change. Any attempt at doing so only seems to reinforce their stance. Interestingly, it's the one trait they share with the polarized extreme left.
